In 01·der to clarify the inain idea behind this approach, we turn to the
scheme with weights

y(x, 0) = y 0 (x), x E wh, y(O, t) = u 1 (t), y(l, t) = u 2 (t),

nation method unveils its potential once again and pennits us to find yj+l
on every new layer t = t j + 1 in terms of a known value yj on the current
layer t = tj:

Under such a choice of the computational algorithm the accuracy of
scheme ( 49) will be given special investigation. We are going to show that
it converges uniformly with the rate O( h^2 + r"'u) in the case of s1nooth
functions k(;r) and f(x,t).
For this, we proceed as usual. This amounts to evaluating the error
z{ = yf - u{, where Yi is a solution of the original pro blern ( 1)-(3) and
